Last month I did The Fast Metabolism Diet, a 28-day meal plan that promises up to 20 lbs. of weight loss. The premise is that by eating certain foods in phases, one can reset their metabolism, undoing years of damage caused by processed foods, caffeine and alcohol. And yes that is a hint: you can't have processed food, caffeine or alcohol during the diet. Cheese, soy, corn anything, refined sugar and wheat are also off the list. So why would I do this to myself? One word: Coachella. We leave on Thursday and I'm happy to say that even though I've been off the diet for a week and a half now, I've kept off the 13 lbs. that I lost. Which is good since I promptly bought a ton of Coachella-worthy outfits in my new size during a champagne-induced haze once my 28 days were up. Would I recommend this to just anyone? No... there's some aspects of this meal plan that really aren't for everyone. And at times, it was tough. But the results went beyond my weight loss... this diet made me a better cook, more conscious of how and what I eat, and, I dare say, permanently changed my relationship with food. Which is why I decided to put together this post to help you make your decision before you try The Fast Metabolism Diet. What You Need to Get Started First things first... without the following list, staying true to this diet will prove to be VERY difficult. In order not to sabotage yourself, you'll need to make sure you have this stuff beforehand. The Fast Metabolism Diet book A nearby grocery store with organic options (you'll be heading there.. a LOT) Lots of freezer-safe tupperware (these are perfect portion-sized for the soups) and on that note... A microwave A blender (I bought this single-serving one) A crockpot (My 6 quart programmable one kicked this diet's ass) A large skillet Citrus squeezers (I have one for lemons and one for limes ...cause I'm bougie like that) Cutting mats.. trust me you'll get tired of cleaning your giant cutting board A small food processor (this little guy became my best friend... I call him Mellow Yellow) Lots of ziploc baggies in various sizes A water bottle (the Hydroflask keeps your water ice cold all day) Foodhuggers... these things are genius and were indispensible Plenty of the following herbs, spices and condiments (organic, if possible): Basil (get a window plant to have fresh basil on hand) Black pepper Cilantro (some recipes call for fresh) Cinnamon Coconut oil cooking spray Curry Dill Dry Mustard Evoo Garlic, crushed (I substituted this whenever a recipe called for minced) and powder Ground ginger Oregano Onion salt Parsley (get a window plant to have fresh parsley on hand) Peppermint leaves or mint Prepared mustard Red pepper flakes Rosemary Sea salt Stevia or Xylitol Tomato paste And last but not least: A dishwasher or a patient significant other who likes to do dishes (my words, not his) The Highs The weight loss! It happens for everyone at different times, some all in rush (like me losing 7 lbs the first week) and sometimes just barely (1 lb in Week 3). But when it does, and especially seeing how much you've lost at the end after still eating so much, it's glorious. Breaking an addiction to caffeine.. there's nothing like fighting caffeine withdrawal and coming out on the other side. Perfecting yummy new recipes like the Chicken and Quinoa Risotto and the Chicken Barley Soup. All the fresh, real food. Learning how to properly eat -- I went from Cheez-It's and Red Bulls for breakfast to cooking myself an egg on sprouted grain toast or making a smoothie before leaving the house. The Lows Dishes. So. Many. Dishes. The Grocery Store. It became my second home. Constantly thinking about food. What I need to buy, when I need to buy it, what I should make, how I should make, what I have frozen, what's going bad, what I need to pack for work, what time I need to eat.... Phase 2 of every week. The Meat and Veggie Phase. I never want to see jerky again. Feeling like a shut-in and an outsider because I can't just casually do whatever my friends are doing since I have to rush home to prep or heat up a meal. Being the only sober one at a party. Not being able to run when I actually want to because it's not a Phase 1 day. Caffeine withdrawal - it was almost unbearable. Who It Will Work For People who don't like to exercise. I said it! Haylie recommends you do 3 specific workouts a week to maximize the benefits of the diet, but I could barely fit any in. I went hiking twice and did bikram once throughout the 28 days. And I still lost 13 lbs! People who LOVE to cook. Because guess what? You'll be doing a lot of it. Carnivores. Virtually anyone else. Except for... Who It Won't Work For Vegans and vegetarians... Haylie says it can, but I just don't see how. At the very least its not ideal (also, I've never met a vegetarian who looked like they needed to go on a diet... have you?) People without regular access to a full kitchen. Hey, I shared what could almost pass for a kitchen with 13 other grad students when I lived in NYC. It happens. People with crazy work schedules or odd hours. This diet was exhausting to do with a regular 8am-5pm job. You have to really want to do this to prep all your meals beforehand and be able to heat them up or keep them cold in time to eat them with a weird schedule or outside of an office environment. Party animals. Look, I barely made it through the dozen or so social functions I went to on this diet. If your social life is really important to you, this is not the diet for you. This is for people who can deal with being a virtual hermit for a month. Anyone training for a fitness thing. For those people out there who may want to start this while training for half or a marathon or some other kind of event, don't. Wait until after. Your body needs more carbs than this provides and workouts are restricted. People who don't want to do it. Sounds obvious? For more on what I mean by that, read this. What I Learned The vicious cycle of caffeine and alcohol are responsible for 60% of the weight I've gained as an adult. Sound weird? Aside from the fact that alcohol is just a bunch of sugar, I spent most of my days eating foods that would comfort my hangover: California burritos, pizza, penne bolognese, cheese, chips, french fries... you name it. Less so because it was convenient and more because it made me feel better after a night out with friends. The caffeine helped me through the lack of sleep and therefore left my body with no time to recharge. Also: I haven't had one drop of caffeine since and no cravings for it either. Processed food is responsible for the other 40%. It was literally all I ate. Sometimes I went weeks without cooking a healthy meal for myself and to substitute for that I would just down a box of Cheez-Its or heat up some pasta with jarred tomato sauce. My eating habits were literally terrible. Breakfast is really important. I never got shaky or weak once on this diet, which is something that has happened to me every day since I was a kid. You know what I haven't done since I was a kid? Eat breakfast. I never got hangry either. In fact, while constantly thinking about food was annoying at times (most of the time), overall my mood was more even keel. I also don't get headaches anymore, something that I used to get a lot. Plus, I have a fairly consistent energy level throughout the day. I was wasting a lot of money on junk. When I add up all the snacks and Red Bulls I bought at convenience stores and all the times we went out to eat, it had to be way over the $300 or so I spent at the grocery store that month getting all healthy, fresh foods. As I continue to loosely follow this diet forever, I'm sure I'll get even better at shopping for the month. Since I've been off, I've worked alcohol, cheese and chocolate back into my diet, but that's about it, and even those things have been in moderation. I've tried to stick to a mix of Phase 1 and 3 meals and snacks and so far, it's been great. I even lost another pound! Which is why it's safe to say that for me, FMD is here to stay. Are you interested in doing The Fast Metabolism Diet? I'm happy to answer any questions about my experience in the comments!

Hello and Happy New Year! My New Year’s resolution is all about getting healthier. After doing some research and reading, I decided to try the 28 day Fast Metabolism Diet by Haylie Pomroy. It’s medically sound, and many people have gotten off major medications and lost weight just by healing their metabolism on this diet. […]
Oatmeal is a super food on the Fast Metabolism Diet. It’s got protein, fiber, iron and calcium. But it’s not your only breakfast option if you’re a cereal fan. Remember on the Fast Metabolism Diet, we want to “confuse it to lose it.” That means keeping your body guessing by including lots of different foods. All the foods on the diet contain various micro-nutrients that stimulate different organs and functions in the body, so mix it up with these hot and cold cereal options. Hot alternatives to oatmeal Ancient Grains Quinoa Flakes Oatmeal isn’t the only grain you can enjoy for breakfast. Quinoa is another great choice for a warm cereal, and it’s even starting to show up on restaurant menus. Le Pain Quotidien, a national chain of bakery/coffee shops, now serves warm quinoa porridge for breakfast. It’s easy to make. This recipe for cardamom quinoa porridge would work on Phase 3. Use rice milk in this recipe for Phase 1 (and omit the flax seeds). Ancient Harvest makes a commercial version, Ancient Harvest Quinoa Flakes. You can make a hot cereal, or use the quinoa flakes to make pancakes or waffles. Pocono Cream of Buckwheat Buckwheat can also be made into a warm cereal on Phase 1. We found Pocono Cream of Buckwheat in a local Whole Foods store. The only ingredient is organic buckwheat. For both quinoa and buckwheat hot cereals, the portion for Phase 1 would be 1 cup cooked. The portion for quinoa hot cereal is 1/2 cup cooked for Phase 3. If you use rice milk in the recipe for Phase 1, decrease the portion to about 3/4 cup since rice milk also adds a grain. Cold cereals In the hot months of summer, simmering quinoa or buckwheat might not sound appealing. There are some cold cereals that will work on the diet, but be very careful. Almost all cold cereals available in the U.S. have added sugar. Even organic cereals and cereals from health-food brands include sugar, agave, cane syrup, or other types of sugar. So look for brands with as few ingredients as possible, and no added sugar. You might be familiar with the Ezekiel 4:9 line of grain products, including sprouted grain bread. There are several Ezekiel 4:9 cold cereals that use the same ingredients as the sprouted grain bread. The plain version (in the orange box) works for Phase 1 and Phase 3; the Flax and Almond varieties, which include nuts and seeds, would be appropriate for Phase 3. Ezekiel 4:9 Cereal These cereals are very dense, so on Phase 1, use 1/2 cup cereal with 1/4 cup rice milk (plus your Phase 1 fruit, of course). On Phase 3, use 1/4 cup with 1/4 cup almond milk or coconut milk. You could also use the cereals dry to make a crunchy topping for baked fruit — delicious for breakfast. Nature’s Path Kamut Puffs If you like a lighter cereal, Nature’s Path Kamut Puffs contain only organic kamut, nothing else. You can enjoy this cereal on Phase 1. Since it’s a lighter, less dense cereal, about 3/4 cup on Phase 1 plus 1/4 cup rice milk would be appropriate. Arrowhead Mills makes three cold cereals that would be appropriate for the Fast Metabolism Diet: Arrowhead Mills Puffed Rice Cereal, Puffed Millet Cereal, and Puffed Kamut Cereal. These are also light cereals, so the portion would be the same as for the Nature’s Path Kamut Puffs on Phase 1. Arrowhead Mills Puffed Rice Let us know if you find any other cereals that will work on the diet. It’s tough to find brands that don’t add sugar. Of course, if you like them sweeter, you can always add your own stevia or xylitol to any of these cereals.
Well I have made it through Phase 1 and Phase 2 of the eating plan. I shared this recipe for Chicken Broccoli Rice Bowl from Phase 1 with you and told you a little bit about how my first day went. The second day was about the same as the first day. I don't know if I was still detoxing or if Phase 1 is just going to be difficult for me. We will know more after Monday and Tuesday of next week. I felt pretty darn good during Phase 2 which is the meat and veggies phase. I did miss being able to have any fruit or grains but I felt pretty stable mentally and was never hungry during this phase. I am now going into Phase 3 of the eating plan. During this phase we are able to eat many more items at each meal and snack. Each meal gets to have a healthy fat, grains, protien, veggies and fruit. Woohoo. I am anxious to see how my body reacts to this phase and I am excited to plan my menu for the next week. I am thrilled that, after 4 full days on this plan, my weight is down 5 lbs. Saturday night we are taking Larry, Mary and Natasha out to dinner. We will be celebrating Larry and Mary's 50th Wedding Anniversary. Sunday is our last meal with all of our CA folks. I am not sure who will be coming by to see them or how many we will be having for dinner so I am keeping it easy with burgers and salads. Mary, Natasha and Molly leave at 5 am on Monday morning. I have a meeting at church at 4 pm and Larry and our brother, Dick, are spending the evening together before Larry leaves for his road trip back home on his Harley. He makes that trip every year. Things quiet way down after that with nothing scheduled as of yet. Still waiting on appraisals on the houses and closing dates. Enjoy the Weekly Menu and I will be talking to you soon.

Metabolic confusion for endomorphs is an effective weight loss strategy. Read about top 10 tips for metabolic confusion for endomorphs.
A lot of changes in the last two months! I have accepted and started a job at a defense contractor doing a similar job that I previously did before I was a full time mom. AND my husband is now a full time dad. It is always difficult during transitions but it's all been filled with blessings! That is the reason, though, for my lack of posting. It's been busy working out a new groove, a new routine. Now that I am settling in I want to share about a new "diet" I started. Let me start off with saying that this "diet" is less what you think of a "diet" and more of encouraging good choices. A diet, based on the dictionary definition, is "food or feed habitually eaten or provided". What you normally eat can be a good diet, a bad diet, a weight loss diet, or a lean diet. It is not just weight loss but it can be! In general, based on the normative American diets, we generally associate a diet as an action to lose weight and eat healthy. The Fast Metabolism Diet is very similar. The goal is not to lose weight per se but more on the side of eating healthy. The premise behind the FMD is that you reset your metabolism, clean out your system, and have a fresh start. While I need all of those things I also read that people stopped having sugar cravings (mine are so awful) and maximized their workouts. I started the diet this past Monday (July 6) and it has gone surprisingly well so far. I am on day 6 of the 28 days and on day 2 of phase 3 in the first week. A mouthful there right?! So here is the basic premise of how it works. There are 3 Phases in each of the 4 weeks for 28 days total. Here are the phases broken down: There are phase specific exercises to do as well. Phase 1: Cardio... goes well with all of those carbs! Phase 2: Strength Training... to pair nicely with your protein. Phase 3: De-stress Activity... which matches the laid back weekend attitude! For me I focused on running for phase 1 cardio. Some options are intervals (help you recover if you aren't a runner just yet), elliptical, spinning, or just plain running! On phase 2 you can pick a strength workout to try. Since you are only doing strength once per week you will want to do multiple muscle groups during your workout, more dynamic strength training. There are plenty of at-home, body weight workouts on YouTube. For phase 3 my choice is yoga but meditation, quiet/no tech time, a massage will all work too. Every week you follow this routine with a few other rules and it helps to reset your metabolism, get rid of your sweet tooth, and give you more energy. It is also an opportunity to get your regular diet back on track. Here are a few more rules: 1. No caffeine 2. No alcohol 3. No sugar or sweeteners (with two exceptions) 4. No gluten 5. No dairy 6. Eat 5 times a day 7. Eat within 30 minutes of waking up 8. Eat organic produce and nitrate free meat (when possible) 9. Drink half your body weight in ounces every day 10. Do the phase specific exercises I know I know. No one likes rules but these are for your benefit. So if you are dedicated to making a change then jump in... if you're not then you might not be ready for this yet. I will post some recipes and a recap each week + menu for the next week. Hopefully that will help spark some ideas if you are interested in trying this out. Let me know if you try it and how it works for you. Keep in mind it is important to plan ahead. When you have to eat every 3 hours you need to be ahead of the game. Also, meal planning and prepping is key. Tomorrow I will post on my review for week 1and the meal plan I used (with links to recipes). I'll give some information on what my results have been too.... You won't want to miss it. I've been surprised! See you back here tomorrow! :)

Not sure what to eat on Phase 1? Here’s a day in Phase 1, complete with your breakfast, snacks, lunch, and dinner. In this phase, we focus on targeting the adrenals and soothing psychological stress. We really want to flood the body with nutrients that stimulate digestion and the metabolism. I suggest planning out your meals like this for the week, making your 28 days on the Fast Metabolism Diet a breeze! Breakfast – (Grain, Fruit) Cinnamon-Apple Pancakes Serves 4 Ingredients 1 cup Fast Metabolism Baking Mix 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon 4 large egg whites 1/2 cup peeled, finely diced apple Directions In a bowl, stir together the baking mix and cinnamon. In a separate bowl, whip the egg whites with an electric mixer until soft peaks form, 2 to 3 minutes. Gently fold in the dry ingredients, then fold in the diced apple. In a hot non-stick skillet, drop about 1/3 cup of the batter, and smooth out to make eight 3-inch pancakes. Cook until small bubbles appear and the underside of the pancake is a light golden brown. Flip and cook for a minute more. Serve with Quick Apple Compote. Quick Apple Compote Serves 4 Ingredients 3 1/2 apples, peeled, cored, and chopped 3 tablespoons water 3/4 teaspoon arrowroot powder 15 drops cinnamon stevia, or to taste Directions Place all ingredients in a microwave-safe bowl and cover with plastic wrap (leave a small vent). Microwave on high 2 minutes or until the apples are tender.Portion: 4 pancakes plus 1 serving of apple compote equals a Phase 1 grain and a Phase 1 fruit portion. Snack – (Fruit) Grilled Stone Fruits with Balsamic and Black Pepper Syrup Serves 6 | Prep time: 10 minutes | Total time: 10 minutes Ingredients 6 pieces stone fruit (apricots or peaches), cut around the pit and separate in half 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar 1 small, peeled chunk ginger root, 1/2-inch 1/4 teaspoon coarse black pepper Stevia (20 to 25 drops, or to taste) Directions Heat a grill or grill pan to high. Grill the fruit cut side down for about 3 to 5 minutes, until warmed through and evenly marked. Heat the remaining ingredients in a small pot over medium-high heat (or on the grill next to the fruit). When the sauce reduces, it will become syrup-like in no time — less than a minute. If you burn food often or get distracted easily, cook it over lower heat. Otherwise, let it rip. When the balsamic sauce coats the back of a spoon and reduces by half, remove the pan from the heat and discard the ginger chunk. Sweeten with stevia to taste. Arrange the fruit on a platter and drizzle liberally with the glaze. Lunch – (Grain, Protein, Fruit, Veggie) White Bean Wrap Serves 4 | Prep time: 10 minutes | Total time: 10 minutes Ingredients 2 cups canned cannellini beans, drained 2 small tomatoes, diced 1/2 cucumber, diced 3 or 4 fresh basil leaves, finely chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 1 lemon, juiced Sea salt and pepper to taste 4 brown rice, spelt or sprouted grain tortillas Directions Place half of the beans in a medium bowl; mash gently with a potato masher or the back of a fork. Stir in the remaining whole beans, tomatoes, cucumbers, basil, garlic, lemon juice, salt, and pepper. Spread the mixture on the tortillas and roll up. Serve with additional veggies and your favorite Phase 1 fruit. Snack – (Fruit) Frozen Fruit Kebabs Serves 4 | Prep Time: 2 minutes | Total Time: 3 hours Ingredients 4 cups mixed fruit: Strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, pineapple, kiwi Directions Thread fruit onto wooden skewers. Place on a plate or tray, cover with plastic wrap and freeze until ready to serve (the fruit will be completely frozen in about 3 hours). Dinner – (Grain, Protein, Veggie) Chicken Sausage with Brown Rice Fusilli Serves 4 | Prep time: 10 minutes | Total time: 10 minutes Ingredients: 2 cups brown rice fusilli 16 ounces chicken sausage 2 cups cubed zucchini 1 cup broccoli florets 1/4 cup minced red onion 1 tablespoon crushed garlic 1/4 teaspoon sea salt 1/8 teaspoon black pepper Directions: Prepare the pasta according to package directions, being careful to not overcook the pasta. When the pasta is done, strain and rinse it. Set aside. Cut the chicken sausage into 1-inch pieces. Preheat a large nonstick skillet. Add 1 tablespoon of water and stir in the sausage, onion, and garlic. Cook on medium heat until lightly browned. Incorporate the zucchini, broccoli, salt, and pepper, and cook until vegetables are crisp-tender, about 3–5 minutes. Add the pasta to the skillet and toss until warmed through. Serve immediately. Enjoy this with a small dinner salad.
